Default Purchasing Endeavor

Has anyone heard rumblings of an acquisition of Endeavor?

The 200s aren't long for this world and 100+ 70+ seaters would really help the long term viability of the company

How would that jive with the AA contract. What I could have seen would be AWAC take over EDV and DL place all DCI 900s there, with the deuces being drawn down. I think there’s two dozen DL owned 900s at Skywest, and some parked at Edv. Merge AWAC and EDV and you can do that no problem.

ZW had their chance in 2014-2015 to get into DCI, and they blew it. Why would anyone purchase a regional today, especially one that owns nothing but a seniority list?

If I were a betting man, I would bet against it.

1. Airlines do things that don't make sense all the time
2. An airline surviving on just 200s doesn't have a long shelf life
3. They'd essentially be buying their future from Delta. Delta likes what's basically free money

Delta is cutthroat in business and all their decisions serve them first and others second.

No matter who is buying who, if Delta is involved they are definitely serving their own interest somehow.
Or the opposite. Maybe AA makes a side deal with AWAC if they purchase Endeavor they’ll offer a solid contract for the 900 flying.

Both AA and DL are competitors so I doubt Delta would make a sale, or AA allow AWAC to back out of their contract without paying a heavy price. I doubt this rumor.

i highly doubt this rumor, as well. It makes for hilarious reading, though.

ZW in no way blew it. DL played hardball about requiring ZW to eat the cost of cancellations DL imposed out of NYC. ZW made the smart business decision not to get involved with that kind of business model.
